Layers - 5/29/2003 18:17:43
Is there a way to put a layer into frontpage? I' m using a template and I want to put something over and I' ve heard the only way that I can do that is to use a layer?

if you have an image you can set that as the background and then write text in the foreground - but I' ve never heard of FP layers

In FrontPage you can position a graphic absolutely, and bring objects forward and backwards, via the Pictures Toolbar. Most of what I' ve read in these forums discourage using this technique due to browser compatibility problems.
You may want to hop over to the css forum to find out more about css positioning/layering.

Ziggyzaz, I' m assuming you want to layer graphics. Have you tried creating the layers in an image editing program, optimizing and saving them as a gif or jpeg, then inserting the final graphic into FrontPage?

i am using a template that is then put into place using an include statement, this template is divided into three different include statements. on the first include statemtent there is a black box that i want to show the time and date, or even just the date. the include statement is built in HTML but then published in FP, how could I make this happen

What does any of that have to do with using layers?
In FP go to HTML mode and insert this into the box you want the date/time in: <!--#echo var=" DATE_LOCAL" -->
